Response to Easy Rhino,
"has anyone been to Choctaw, MS? It sounds like the Indian casinos there (Silver Star/Golden Moon) is ENORMOUS, although half of it is only open on weekends."
Here is what you want to know:
The following is NOT to be construed as racist.
I have this info' first hand from a real-life friend who has gone there and he is local resident.
The local sovereign Chocktaw establishment has created a nightmare for themselves, to the point of virtual bankruptcy.
What they have done is to mandate that it is (literally) impossible to discipline or terminate the employment of any employees, dealers included, who are Native Americans. So ... if a dealer wants to stand around chewing tobacco and deal < 20 hands an hour, there is nothing that can be done. That is but one example.
They also appear to be unable to "market" their casino effectively because they cannot make their property attractive to players. There is no incentive. Some of the excellent tribal benefits, e.g. free college education, that the Choctaws supply are noteworthy. The biggest problem though, that cannot be overcome, is that the casino is really located in a severely impoverished area that is "in the middle of nowhere." No city. No airport. No alternative resort activities.
